Urinary tract infection home remedies

•    Baking Soda is usually used in treating urinary tract infection, as it neutralizes the levels of acidity in the urine, thereby speeding up the recovery process. The best way to consume baking soda is by adding one teaspoon of it to a glass of water.
•    Consuming two capsules of Echinacea and goldenseal or orange grape root can help fight off the infection.
•    Pineapples contain an enzyme known as Bromelain, which enhances the effect of antibiotics and medication in fighting the infection off. A cup of pineapples should be eaten, on a daily basis.
•    A combination of essential oil can be prepared at home, by mixing equal parts of the oil of juniper, sandalwood, bergamot, tea tree and frankincense. The resultant mixture should be massaged over the bladder area. This practice should be repeated for two or three days.
•    Urinary tract infection home treatment will not be very effective, without consuming at least 8 to 10 glasses of water each day.

It has been seen that while treating a urinary tract infection cranberry juice can have a very positive effect. This is because cranberry juice of good quality can produce hippuric acid in a person’s urine. This acidifies the urine, which does not allow the bacteria to stick to walls that line the bladder. However, for such cases cranberry juice should not be, packaged but be 100% pure and with no adulteration. In the absence of cranberry juice, doctors may also recommend taking cranberry capsules as a substitute. These capsules can be easily found at most pharmacies and should be consumed with water, just like all other normal capsules. However, before consuming any amount of pure, cranberry juice for urinary tract infection, it is important to consult a doctor.
